Key Points:
- Increasing cardiovascular disorders is the major driver for pacemaker demand
- Older age groups’ population in most nations are likely to increase in coming years
- Global cardiac pacemaker market will increase by a CAGR rate of 5.88% by 2026
- United States has the highest implantation rate and cardiac pacemaker’s leaders
Growing Global Pacemaker Market
The growing demand for cardiac pacemakers has to do a lot owing to the patients in older age groups. Fortunately, the life expectancy of older age groups has frequently increased over the decade. It is believed that by 2050, 33% of the population of developed countries and 20% of the population of developing countries will have a population mostly older than 60 years old.
Inversely and contrarily, the maintenance of the health of these age groups’ people will require the same efficient amount of effort, varying accordingly in people with overall health, age, lifestyle, and environment.
Cardiovascular disorders are serious issues and various technologies play their part in treating or controlling these issues. Most of the cardiovascular-related issues are resolved with electric charges and technology-facilitated for such requirements. One of the prominent technologies for accompanying regulated electrical impulses is the invention of the “cardiac pacemaker”.
A pacemaker is a medical device that helps in controlling irregular heartbeat, regulating the heart rhythm and reproducing the rhythm for the heart by sending electrical impulses.
The global cardiac pacemaker market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.88% within the next 5 years, generating a revenue of about $6.6 million in 2026 from $4.3 million value in 2020.
According to the 2009 survey of the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI), the United States of America has the highest number of cardiac pacemaker implantation done.
Notably, the USA is the home to the key players of the cardiac pacemaker market, and hence, precisely there is the finding that the USA is both the importer and exporter of pacemakers.
Top Manufacturers of the Pacemakers
According to a study conducted by The Commonwealth Fund, prices for pacemakers in the USA were six times higher than the prices being paid in Germany, typically the least expensive nation from the European Union for pacemakers. The study also mentions that the prices for pacemaker are generally kept confidential since it is privately negotiated between hospitals & other buyers and pacemaker manufacturers.

Top Manufacturers of Pacemaker And their Exports:
Export data of pacemakers and their raw materials are provided below. It comprises the approximated share value of pacemakers and related essential commodities to manufacture cardiac pacemakers, calculated based on all outbound shipments to different branches of the particular company whose name is provided, and to different companies or countries in general.
Medtronic’s export data shows high exports in the dawn of 2020 but fell the next quarter of the year, followed by an increase in its exports for pacemaker and its valuable components for the third quarter of 2020. From the fourth quarter of 2020, the exports have frequently gone down. Medtronic exports show a consistent fluctuation in each of six quarters, with an overall approximated share value of 99.57% in total.
Boston Scientific export data shows a slight surge in the second quarter from the first one of 2020. However, the third quarter shows a drastic decline in the exports for Boston Scientific exports, with a dramatic comeback in the next & fourth, the final quarter of the year 2020. Exports have declined in the first quarter of 2021 but rose in the next one, contributing to an overall approximated share value of 96.57% in total.
Biotronik export data shows the second quarter’s value higher than the first quarter of 2020. After the third quarter of the year, exports of Biotronik have constantly fallen, until the second quarter of 2021, rising to 19.41% percentile of share value. Biotronik exports for pacemaker and its raw materials contributed to an overall approximated share value of 96.69% in total for the taken period of total six quarters.
Abbott export data shows the decrease in the exports of Abbott Laboratories in the second quarter of the year 2020, compared to the first quarter of 2020. Exports of pacemakers and related components have frequently increased, reaching a top high value of 29.19% percentile. In the immediate next and second quarter of 2021, exports fell, contributing to an overall approximated share value of 88.81% in total.
A Brief History of Pacemaker
Pacemakers have their own journey, beginning from way back in the Ancient Roman period when Roman physicians used ‘electric ray fishes’ as the source for stimulation of an electrical charge to treat their patients.
A completely authorised pacemaker was introduced by the “bow-tie team” of three, whose prototype was taken into consideration with authority and responsibility in future models of pacemakers.
